Shub the Foolish
leads his overgod Dolarus to war in the desert with the evil Huda while the elusive
Simla looks on plotting mischief; in the lands of Pondus, Brilo conceals the
secret of his birth, while the prophet Chatus teaches the tribes how to wander;
and Fedborg and Subratus fight an epic duel on a grassy plain.

In Modern Gods Damian
Flanagan uncovers the epic saga of a mysterious world filled with many god-like
heroes and villains, dazzling exploits and dastardly deeds...a world curiously
similar to our own. Mythology turns satirical in this masterly summation of the
age.
